I have a stage 2 pump I got used three or four years ago. I don't remember the brand, but it is a bucketed 450 similar to a fuel it stage 2. I also have stock fuel lines and EKP (?) and everything is good to go on E50.
I am flash only via MHD and a Wedge tune. Here is a recent log on E50 so you should be fine if you are planning to run similar boost, timing, and afr(using s p o o l s t r e e t because logs are really easy to look at on the phone). Also, my logs aren't always this beautiful with regard to timing corrections, but that is how this one turned out.

no idea why this forum blocks ***********, here it is on datazap: https://datazap.me/u/houtan/rev-6-hi...30-31-32-33-34
I upped the ethanol to something like E75 to see if the fuel system can handle the same tune. Still dialing her in but will let you know how it goes.
Quick question about your manifold: Were you able to retain the factory bracket for the HPFP hard line that attaches to the block and the bracket that holds the larger black hose that goes to the HPFP from the firewall side of the block? I guess a simpler way to ask is, did you have to remove any factory brackets to get the manifold to fit? One thing i don't like about a lot of the PI spacers is those things need to be removed, which I am not a fan of. |
Houtan,
Awesome to hear that you're able to do all this on just a stage 2 pump and stock EKP! My EKP module started throwing shadow codes for overheating when I upgraded to the stage 2 pump. Instead of replacing with another stock EKP, I upgraded to the BPM4.
The manifold fit great honestly. It even has 5 ports on the bottom that can be used for vacuum/boost sources, or plugged like I currently have them.
Everything lined up perfectly. I didn't have to remove any of the fuel line brackets. The only thing that I had to delete was the bracket the Fuel Tank Vent Valve slides onto. There are no threads on the new manifold for that bracket to screw into. But this really isn't an issue. The valve sits in the same location as before, and I have a simple zip tie holding it in place, so it doesn't bounce around.
I'm at work and can't view the logs at the moment (Military network blocks all sorts of random websites.) But will take a look later on my phone!
